Roll-Off Dumpster Trailers: Cost, Sizes & Where to Buy

Key Takeaways

• Roll-off dumpster trailers pair a gooseneck chassis with interchangeable steel bins, so a single trailer can service multiple dumpsters at different job sites.

• MAXX-D ROX bins come in 13-cubic-yard (4' sides) and 18-cubic-yard (6' sides) versions, both built on a 14-foot deck with 10-gauge steel.

• The 18k gooseneck ROX chassis carries an 18,000 lb GVWR, an 8-function wireless roll-off system, a 22K winch, and an electric tarp kit.

• New ROX bins start under $5,000 cash, and the 18k gooseneck chassis runs near $19,000 cash, with financing available online.

• Poplar Bluff Trailer stocks the full MAXX-D ROX roll-off line across Missouri and Illinois, with daily inventory updates and a fast pickup process.

How Roll-Off Dumpster Trailers Work

A roll-off dumpster trailer is a two-part purchase: a powered gooseneck chassis and one or more detachable bins that load, drop, and swap independently. That split is what makes roll-offs different from standard dump trailers, because the chassis keeps hauling while full bins sit on site collecting debris.

Scaling a roll-off operation costs far less than scaling with fixed-bed trailers. Each additional bin runs under $5,000 cash, while a second complete trailer would cost over $20,000, which is why most rental fleets and waste haulers grow by adding bins to a single chassis rather than buying duplicate rigs.

Poplar Bluff Trailer carries both MAXX-D ROX bin sizes and the loaded 18k gooseneck chassis at our Poplar Bluff, Missouri lot, with daily updates so listed inventory reflects what is actually available on the ground.

Roll-Off Dumpster Trailer Bin Sizes & Cost

13 Cubic Yard Bin (4' Sides)

The 13-cubic-yard bin stands 4 feet tall and handles the everyday work: mixed cleanouts, roofing tear-offs, and steady rental turns. Its lower walls make hand loading, wheelbarrow dumping, and shovel work easier for crews filling a bin by hand throughout the day. 

Dense debris such as shingles and concrete hits weight limits before it fills the box, so the shorter 4-foot bin is the practical match for heavy material. Contractors running frequent, moderate loads often keep several of these in rotation.

Option to Buy: MAXX-D ROX 13 Cubic Yard Bin (4' Sides)

The 13-cubic-yard bin is the volume seller and the cheapest way into the system. It runs 14 feet long by 5 feet wide with 4-foot sides, fits the 62-inch frame rails on both gooseneck and bumper pull ROX models, and lists at $5,995 retail with a $3,998 cash price, a savings of $1,997. 

18 Cubic Yard Bin (6' Sides)

The 18-cubic-yard bin adds two feet of wall height, for a total of 6 feet, which leaves room for bulky, lower-density debris like framing offcuts, drywall, cardboard, and large residential cleanouts. The taller sides increase volume without adding deck length, so the loaded footprint and towing behavior match those of the smaller bin. 

Waste haulers and junk-removal crews moving light but voluminous loads pick this size to cut the number of trips. It suits any job where a load runs out of space before it runs out of weight.

Option to Buy: MAXX-D ROX 18 Cubic Yard Bin (6' Sides)

The 18-cubic-yard bin costs $1,000 more than the 13-cubic-yard bin at cash pricing, listing at $6,995 retail with a $4,998 cash price and the same $1,997 savings. It shares the 14-foot by 5-foot footprint and swaps the 4-foot walls for 6-foot solid sides on a 10-gauge floor and sides. 

Roll-off bins share the same 14-foot deck and 5-foot width, with the choice coming down to volume and wall height. 

Roll-Off Dumpster Trailer Chassis Option & Cost

The chassis is the powered half of the system and the larger line item. One of the top options is the MAXX-D ROX8314G, which measures 83 inches wide by 14 feet long, carries an 18,000 lb GVWR on dual 8,000-lb electric brake axles, and lists at $21,995 retail with an $18,998 cash price, a savings of $2,997. 

The specs include an 8-function wireless control system, the 22K Warrior power winch, dual 20K hydraulic jacks, the flip-over electric tarp kit, and the 6x20 scissor hoist. Payload capacity is 13,100 lbs, backed by a 5-year structural and 2-year component warranty.

Because the chassis handles loading and hauling while the bins stay on site, one chassis keeps working while several bins fill. Buyers should still weigh the loaded combination against their truck and local road limits, since dense fills reach the GVWR ceiling well before the box looks full.

The ROX8314G gooseneck chassis is rated at 18,000 lb GVWR on dual 8,000-lb axles with a 22K Warrior winch. 

Where to Buy Roll-Off Dumpster Trailers

We stock the full MAXX-D ROX roll-off line at Poplar Bluff Trailer in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, and sell to buyers across Missouri, Illinois, and the surrounding states, including Cape Girardeau, Paducah, Paragould, West Plains, St. Louis, and Memphis. Our inventory updates daily, so the roll-off chassis and bins listed online reflect what is actually on the lot rather than a stale catalog.

Experienced buyers who already know their spec tend to move fast with us, often closing within one to five days. The usual path looks like this:

• Browse our live roll-off inventory and confirm which chassis and bin sizes are in stock.

• Match the bin volume (13 or 18 cubic yards) to the load type you handle most.

• Apply for financing online or arrange a cash purchase.

• Pick free in-store pickup, or ask about delivery, which we provide for a fee to most of the Midwest.

Roll-Off Dumpster Trailer Options Compared

Matching a Roll-Off Setup to Your Route With Poplar Bluff Trailer

Poplar Bluff Trailer helps buyers match roll-off bin size and chassis to their route for maximum efficiency. 

Choosing a roll-off setup comes down to two calls: the bin size that matches your debris, and how many bins one chassis needs to keep busy. Dense, heavy loads point to the 13-cubic-yard bin; bulky, lighter loads point to the taller 18; and a single 18k gooseneck chassis can cycle through as many bins as your route demands. Get those two right, and the trailer earns its keep on a rental route or a steady run of job-site cleanouts.

For buyers who already know that spec, we keep the full ROX line, chassis, and both bin sizes in stock and updated daily, so a rental operator can add one more bin or a new hauler can start a fleet without waiting on a factory build. Match your bin count to your route and check our live roll-off inventory to see what is ready to work this week.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the difference between a roll-off dumpster trailer and a standard dump trailer?

A standard dump trailer has a fixed bed that tilts to unload. A roll-off dumpster trailer uses a separate chassis and detachable bins, so it can drop a full bin, leave it on site, and carry another. 

That makes roll-offs a better fit for rental fleets and multi-site work, while fixed dump trailers suit single-load hauling where the bed never leaves the frame.

How many dumpsters can one ROX chassis handle?

One gooseneck chassis can service as many bins as you own, since the bins are interchangeable. Operators commonly run a single chassis with several 13- or 18-cubic-yard bins, dropping full ones for later pickup and staging empties elsewhere. 

That flexibility is the main reason dumpster rental companies pick a roll-off system over buying several full dump trailers that each stay tied to one load.

Do I need a special truck to pull a gooseneck roll-off chassis?

A gooseneck roll-off chassis rated at 18,000 lb GVWR needs a properly equipped three-quarter or one-ton pickup with a gooseneck hitch and enough towing capacity. 

Match your truck's rated capacity to the combined weight of the chassis and a loaded bin, not the empty trailer. If you are unsure, confirm the numbers with our team before you purchase.

Can I buy the roll-off bin and chassis separately?

Yes. The chassis and bins are sold as individual units, so you can buy one chassis and add bins over time, or add bins to a chassis you already own. 

Many buyers start with a chassis and one bin, then grow the bin count as their route or job volume expands, since extra bins cost far less than extra trailers.
